Ill-Equipped to Wed
What thoughts run through your head when you think of the month of June? Weddings come to my mind!

At times we feel annoyed, and then there are times my husband and I are totally maddened! Living in the country especially during the summer months, the gnats torment us with every outside endeavor.
